Seldom has history been made in such dramatic fashion. Americans have emphatically turned their backs on eight years of Republican rule under George W. Bush and embraced as President the 47-year-old African-American Democrat senator from Chicago, Illinois, with his mantra "Change the country needs". Joining International Dateline's George Negus in Washington to discuss the massive implications of the Obama win are veteran America-watcher Martin Walker, Clarence Page, a senior columnist with the 'Chicago Tribune' - in Barack Obama's home town - and Megan Ortegas, a Republican Party strategist. Arne Arneson, a radio host and commentator, joins in from Chicago, surrounded by delirious Barack Obama fans and supporters.
About International Dateline
SBS Dateline, which began in 1984, is Australia's longest-running international current affairs program. It has a well-earned reputation for authoritative and incisive reporting. Dateline has taken the traditional way of producing TV current affairs and turned it on its head. Reporters who used to travel with a cameraperson and sound recordist now travel alone and have the responsibility of both filming and reporting their stories. The reporters became video-journalists, gaining access to people and places that the conventional camera crews cannot.
